Plot Synopsis

Winsome suburban comedy adapted by Norman Hudis from Basil Thomas’s stage hit Book of the Month, and played for laughs in a less-bawdy Carry On style. The cast of practised comics include Ted Ray, Leslie Phillips, Joan Sims and Charles Hawtrey. Margaret Lockwood‘s daughter Julia stars as the teenage novelist.

Jo Halliday (Julia Lockwood), the precocious 17-year-old daughter of a respectable suburban family writes a successful and scandalous novel based on people she knows called “Naked Revolt”. This causes much agitation in the family circle as the townspeople believe the intimate secrets exposed in the scandal-sheet are true. Jo’s father, Edward (Ted Ray), is suddenly looked upon as an embezzler having an affair with his secretary. Her uncle (Lionel Jeffries),a driving instructor, is portrayed as an aging lothario. Her aunt (Joan Sims)is exposed as a drunk, and her doctor (Leslie Phillips), as a lustful seducer of his patients.
